Ritchie Blackmore, the legendary former Deep Purple and Rainbow guitarist, suffered a heart attack 18 months ago, and is unlikely to return to European stages anytime soon, according to his wife Candice Night.
Night, who has been with Blackmore, 79, for 36 years, 17 of those as husband-and-wife, was interviewed by TotalRock from the couple's home in Long Island, and discussed the possibility of the pair returning to Europe to play shows with Blackmore's Night, their Medieval and folk-rock project.
